PP bleeding?

[aliah79]

I'm just wondering how much is normal for 3wks pp. I won't bleed at all until I stand up, then I can 'feel' it. Or if I sit on the toilet, it actually pools in the bottom and is bright red. This happens 1-2 times per day. My dh is starting to get worried and I'm just trying to trust my body, but I don't remember what happened after #1. This was #2, planned HBAC turned hospital transfer, then c/s...

Thanks for any advice!

Hmm. I think that is fairly normal. I'm 4 weeks PP and still have the "gush" sensation every now and again. But I'm not sure.

i'm 3.5 weeks pp and my bleeding is nearly identical to what you explained...i wouldn't worry if i were you.

sounds the same to me, too, though i didn't have a c/s. I find it can change a lot -- a clot will surprise me, and then I'll have almost nothing, like the end of a period. Then more. It looks redder in the toilet. If you have any pain besides the normal cramps, if it smells odd, or if you have a fever -- or if your clots are bigger than a golf ball, call your HCP. Otherwise, sounds normal. I totally understand your nervousness, though.

Thanks ladies... I remember it going on longer than I thought it would with my first, but I forgot the consistency of it... I also bought some cotton pads from the health food store to use instead of the chemical laden ones, maybe that will make a difference....
